CVE-2025-71326 Jun 19, 14:16 HIGH POC This Week

Local privilege escalation in Avast Antivirus 25.11 allows non-privileged Windows users to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM by abusing an unquoted service path in the SecureLine service. Publicly available exploit code exists (Exploit-DB 52510), and the issue was reported by VulnCheck; no public exploit identified at time of analysis indicates wider active exploitation, but the low-complexity local vector makes this attractive for post-compromise escalation.

CVE-2025-13032 Nov 11, 17:15 HIGH This Week

Local privilege escalation in Avast/AVG Antivirus before 25.3 on Windows allows a low-privileged local attacker to corrupt kernel pool memory through a double-fetch race in the sandbox kernel driver, potentially gaining high-integrity code execution. The race is timing-dependent and assessed as high complexity; EPSS is 0.05% (15th percentile), and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. Exploitation requires an existing local foothold and does not affect versions 25.3 and later or non-Windows installations.
